Anthropic ditched Git for its own version control system because Claude is writing too much code

Company says merged code changes went from 2,500 a day to 30,000 in four months
First look: Anthropic has replaced Git in its main code repository as AI-generated changes outpaced the infrastructure built to manage them. The new system, called "Scion," moves most source-control operations to servers, reducing the amount of data that agents and automated jobs must download.
